To Drown Out

[warriorscribe]

Characters: Enoch never intended it but, everyone who's up for drinking!
Setting: Cafeteria, throughout the day (sorry team indigo)
Format: Party, do what you want!
Summary: With Riki being generous with the food again, Enoch decides to see, first, if he can still get drunk at all, and second, if being drunk will help keep his new headmate quiet. A (not-so-) surprising amount of people are likely to be interested in drinking with him.
Warnings: Drunken shenanigans. Possible angst because he might actually talk about Eleven under the influence. Might also talk about gory details of the meeting with Ruana. Did I say drunken shenanigans? I think I need to say that again.

*Much like just before the glamour failure, Enoch sits with several bottles of red wine from the kitchen stock. Unlike then, he has no extra glasses out to share with. He is not drinking to a plunge into the unknown. He is drinking to drown things. Mostly, the voice screaming in his head.

But nothing really changes the fact that any modern wine is of much higher quality than anything his time could produce, and he's savoring its flavor too, in long sips. It's almost a distraction, itself.

Speaking of distractions, he certainly won't object to any company, and if it turns into a larger gathering he may get so caught up in it he'll forget how much he's had.

And so might you. Care to grab a drink for yourself? He won't mind if you ask for some of the wine he has.*

((ooc: Of course you can approach Enoch like any other log, but due to interest expressed this is actually more of a mingle! Start games and contests if you'd like or just hang out and have your characters get drunk or bodyguard or spectate. Please identify new games and contests in the header to make it clearer to people scrolling through! Naturally there can be several threads of the same game, considering this isn't organized at all.

Have fun, and do keep an eye out for monsters...))

I am pleased to meet you, Merciless.

[He doesn't think it's an odd name; his name is Sephiroth, after all. He looks blankly at his food. He's indifferent to it.]

It is the same as last month. Our perception of it changes based on the will of the administrator in charge.

[sacrament_of_blood]

You are right. It must not be forgotten that this is the tower of illusions. Nevertheless, as much as I appreciate this improvement of flavor, it does nothing to change my resolve against those that would imprison us.

[pinnaculum]

[Sephiroth nods again.]

Nothing we see is real, not even our selves.

They should be eliminated.

[sacrament_of_blood]

Yes. It would be good to paint the walls with their blood and send them into the valley of death.

[pinnaculum]

[Sephiroth takes this as a poetic metaphor, but he doesn't see anything strange about that, and he does believe they should be killed, but there is an exception.]

The youngest one is too useful to kill. He is said to be responsible for bringing us here. His power could be invaluable.

[sacrament_of_blood]

Perhaps his sins can be redeemed by providing valuable service to others.

[pinnaculum]

Sins? [He asks this question curiously, because he doesn't understand the concept, and so, doesn't understand what she means.]

They are acting in their own interests, as we are. To oppose them is the most logical course of action.

Some claim the youngest is under the control of the others.

[sacrament_of_blood]

Sins are that which goes against the will of the gods. And they have sinned deeply.

[pinnaculum]

I understand.

[He's heard about deities.]

I don't believe in gods, but we agree that the administrators should be destroyed.

[Primarily as a matter of survival. It's clear they won't survive if things are not changed. Not that he wants to continue to be experimented on. No, he doesn't like that.]

[sacrament_of_blood]

Then in that much our goals are united.

[It is tragic that even a small child like this is an unbeliever, but otherwise he seems to have remarkably clear perception.]

[pinnaculum]

[Sephiroth was never educated about religion, having grown up in a lab, raised by someone who hated such "superstition". He believes it to be illogical, but he doesn't feel strongly enough about it to argue with others about their beliefs.]

I believe most people here would like to be rid of the administrators. It would be best to take action rather than wait. In less than a year, we will all die, if nothing is done. The difficulty is determining a productive course of action.

[sacrament_of_blood]

We shall die? But even without such an ultimatum, I would favor action. In this case, I believe the collar investigation to be a most excellent avenue. Unlocking our chains should be of great aid in our war against the tower masters.

[pinnaculum]

The administrators have said that the tower will lose power within a year's time. I agree. Action is preferable. At times it is advisable to wait and plan, but this is not one of those times.

Yes, the importance of research cannot be discounted.
